At our recent Dual Mobility Master Class, Orthopaedic Surgeons Prof. Nicolas Reina (France) and Prof. Riaz Khan (Australia) discussed the risks of malseating the metal liner in a Modular Dual Mobility construct.   The consequences of malseating, such as corrosion at the liner-shell interface, increased prosthetic impingement, and possible complete dissociation of the liner itself, highlighted the benefits of choosing a Monoblock over a Modular dual mobility design.   Notably, the studies below found that malseating can occur in at least 1 in 20 patients1 and that modular cup sizes below 50mm were at a higher risk of malseating2. This could be due to prominent screws, soft tissue or bone impingement, or cup deformation through impaction.   Awareness of these risks is crucial for improving patient outcomes in joint replacement surgeries through educated implant selection.

With prosthesis instability and dislocation being the second highest cause for revision in primary THR (1), jump distance and the relative risk of dislocation was an important topic at our recent Dual Mobility Masterclass. In a comparison between fixed bearing cups, modular cups and monoblock dual mobility cups, Professor Riaz Khan explained the importance of head/liner size ratio along with cup angle and offset in creating the highest jump distance and lowest risk of dislocation. Due to their larger head/liner size, dual mobility cups are clinically proven to reduce the risk of dislocation through broad articulation with the liner (2) and monoblock designs provide the greatest stability due to the absence of a modular metal liner which enables a largest poly to be used in the same cup size. This significantly increases jump distance over modular dual mobility designs which further reduces the risk of dislocation.

In the evolving landscape of orthopaedic surgery, the debate on whether screws are essential for primary acetabular cup fixation persists. Australian Surgeons Allen Turnbull and Scott Brumby discussed this topic at our recent Dual Mobility Masterclass, concluding designs like the Saturne and Saturne II cup challenge the need for screws in modern cup design.    Here are some key advantages of the Saturne Cup that challenge the necessity of screws:   ☑ Ensures primary fixation with a +0.5 mm equatorial press-fit and precise engineering which negates the need for additional screws.   ☑ Inverted chevron-shaped notches provide exceptional rotational stability, securing the cup in place.   ☑ Horizontal parallel grooves strategically placed around the equator strengthen the hold of the cup in bone, enhancing overall stability.   ☑ Rough surface dual coating plasma-sprayed titanium (80 µm) + HAP (80 µm) provide additional grip fixation and allow for bone ingrowth.   It's time to rethink traditional methods and consider whether screws are truly necessary or merely a fallback. The Saturne cup's design provides all the advantages of a dual mobility without the risks.   Discover more about Monoblock Dual Mobility here: https://lnkd.in/giyfcg87   #dualmobility #THR #orthopaedics #orthopedics

The risk of metal ion release was a focus for Orthopaedic Professor Riaz Khan at a recent Dual Mobility Master Class in which he compared various risk measures between Modular and Monoblock Dual Mobility Cups.   Professor Khan cited a 10 fold increase in Adverse Reaction to Metal Debris (ARMD) in Modular DM systems compared to Monoblock systems. He also identified liner malpositioning and screw head encroachment against the metal liner as possible factors in this alarming result. These elements are not factors when using Monoblock systems like the Saturne cup which could explain its significantly reduced risks of ARMD and short to long term wear.

Not all Dual Mobility cups are created equal.  The key distinction between monoblock and modular dual mobility acetabular cups lies in their design and assembly. While both are engineered to enhance stability over fixed bearing cups, their construction - and resulting success in achieving this stability - differs greatly.     Monoblock Dual Mobility, the original dual mobility design, includes a one-piece metal cup which offers exceptional primary fixation through features like a press-fit design, dual coatings, inverted chevron notches, and horizontal surface grooves, all contributing to rotational stability. In contrast, the relatively recently designed Modular Dual Mobility is assembled using a standard cementless fixed bearing cup, adapted to create dual mobility articulation by inserting an inner metal liner within the outer shell. This liner creates a smooth surface for the dual mobility outer head to articulate. Like fixed bearing cups, modular designs allow for screw fixation while monoblock cups have no need for screws or the added surgical step of inserting a metal liner. However, modular cup flexibility comes at a cost... The modular metal liner makes the overall construct thicker, leaving less space for the dual mobility head. As a result, the head must be significantly smaller than one used in a monoblock design which means less jump distance and stability. Additionally, the extra metal surface in the modular system increases the risk of wear and metal-on-metal complications.
